The Model Validation – Senior Quantitative Analyst is a member of the Model Risk Management team, within the Group Risk Management and Assurance unit (CRO) and is responsible to perform independent technical validations on non-financial models (e.g. Compliance, Machine Learning/Artificial Intelligence/gen AI) as well as financial models (e.g. Stress Testing, Liquidity/ALM, Credit Risk, Market Risk, Investment/Research).

YOUR CHALLENGE

  • Perform independent validation of models, in accordance with a multi-annual review plan. This includes:

    • testing of the model’s assumptions (including expert-based judgements), conceptual soundness, robust implementation, appropriateness of input data, model parameters, and their calibration accuracy (through statistical techniques, development of benchmark models and data analysis),

    • reviewing the governance around the model, its usage, and its documentation

    • identification and evaluation of model limitations, and assessment of overall model risk, including assigning a model risk rating

    • production and delivery of high-quality model validation reports to evidence a sound challenge and risk-oriented validation findings
       

  • Supervise a small team of junior model validation quantitative analysists, in their day-to-day model validation and model governance tasks

  • Track and verify model risk mitigation activities and ensure adequate oversight over models through their lifecycle

  • Monitor model performance indicators along standardized risk metrics

  • Build strong relationships and interact with model owners, developers, users, subject matter experts and Risk Management functions both at headquarter in Zurich and in foreign locations

  • Profound knowledge and hands-on experience in validating financial (market, credit, liquidity risk etc.) and/or non-financial models (Compliance, Information Security etc.) and use cases for Large Language Models (generative AI) and/or Machine Learning models (predictive AI)

  • Expertise in data assembling and analysis, computational statistics, anomaly detection, AI/ML, understanding of ML Ops.

  • Strong programming skills (e.g., Python, R, VBA, JAVA, SQL, …) to be able to implement own testing code to challenge the to-be-validated model

  • Strong problem-solving and analytical skills, with the ability to think critically and creatively about complex challenges

  • Results-oriented individual with outstanding interpersonal skills, written and verbal communication skills, proficiency in English. Fluency in German is an additional asset
